Translation: It's Lelack's Nail Art Sunday today and the theme this week is Easter. Which was perfect for me since I have Easter week here at the blog.
I chose to do dots. Again. I love dots. This time I went with a yellow base with purple dots and a few purple glitter dots. Very pretty and I'm so happy with the result. I realy like it.
The polishes I've used are OPI Fiercely Fiona, OPI Planks A Lot and Nubar Violet Sparkle. I used thre thin layers of OPI Fiercely Fiona on each nail and let it dry completely. Ater that I did dots with OPI Planks A Lot with the help of a dotting tool before I made som glitter dots with Nubar Violet Sparkle.

Translation: Happy Easter! I must start this post with saying how much I appreciate that all of you visit this blog every day to read, comment and leave wonderful feedback. You are all fantastic!

It's Easter Eve and unfortunately I haven't had the time to prepare an Easter post yet. That will come later tonight. Instead I'll start off this morning by showing you OPI Glints of Glinda from the new collection Oz The Great And Powerful.

Glints of Glinda is a peachy, or nude, jelly that looks so much like my skin tone it's almost scary. It's hard to see where my skin ends and nails start. I can't decide if that's a good or a bad thing.

What I do know is that I like Glints of Glinda. It's pretty and I love soft shades.

The formula is great. It's very easy to apply and it's not streaky at all. it dries quickly and super shiny. What you see in the pictures are three thin coats of Glints of Glinda and one coat of Seche Vite.

Tranlsation:Today I'm wearing a very Easter appropriate polish. This is Candeo Colors Jelly Bean. Jelly Bean is a light yellow, almost vanilla custard coloured, jelly with glitters in two different sizes. There are tiny, tiny glitters in yellow, green and pink and larger hex glitter in blue, pink and purple. It's so pretty. I love it!
The formula is really good. The polish is on the thicker side but there are no problems when applying it. Two coats give full coverage and the glitter spreads evenly on the nail. The dry time is a little longer than normally but that is probably because it's a jelly. It dries to a very shiny but a little rough finish. To make the finish smooth and give the polish some extra shine I used to coats of Seche Vite over Jelly Bean.

Translation: It's Maundy Thursday and for me as a kid that was one of the best days uring Easter since I got to go on an Easter Egg hunt. Loved it! So i decieded to do a pastel skittle mani with white dots for today.

The polishes I've used are OPI, Can't Find My Czechbook,OPI You're Such A BudaPest, OPI Mermaid's Tears, OPI Fiercly Fiona, OPI Pink Friday and OPI Alpine Snow. I've used three thin coats of every polish and made the dots with Alpine Snow using a dotting tool.

Isadora Meadow is a light, light green pastel with a creme finish. It's gorgeous. I really like these types of polishes. They looks so fresh and spring-like. The only negative thing I have to say about the shade is that it's the type of green that gives me major obster hands, but it doesnt bother me snce the colour is so pretty.

The formula is good. Each coat is very even and Meadow dries fast and shiny. I only needed two coats for full coverage. I used one coat of Seche Vite to give the polish some extra shine. As you know I'm not a big fan of Isadora's wide brush and I have a hard time avoiding to get polish in my cuticles. Practise makes perfect and this time I didn't need to clean up my manicure.

Translation: It's Easter week here at the blog and I'm showing you yellow today. A couple of days ago I got my package with the whole Orly Hope and Freedom Fest Collection and my eyes were instantly drawn to the yellow Melodious Utopia. I love yellow polishes but don't own so many.Melodious Utopia is a lemon yellow shimmerpolish with pink and green shimmer, though you can't really see the green shimmer. I really like it and the pink shimmer gives it a nice unique look.
The formula is thin and runny and the polish wants to pool around the cuticles. You also have to be careful when applying the polish so it doesn't go on streaky. The best way to prevent it from becoming streaky is to wait a couple o minutes betwwen each coat. Most yellow polish has a pretty problematic forumla so this was nothing that bothered me. The polish is also sheer. For coats were needed for full coverage. I find four coats okay but when I need five I just put the polish away. The dry time was a little slower than usual even with one coat of Seche Vite but I think it's because all the coats.
I will dfinitely wear Melodious Utopia again even though the tricky formula. I love yellows and I think this polish is so pretty that it's worth a little extra work.

Translation: Easter week here at the blog. I'll start off with an Easter egg inspired manicure. A few of years ago my parents gave me this beautiful Easter egg with white and red flowers and now I wanted to recreate that look for my nails.

I've used OPI Alpine Snow, China Glaze Merry Berry, Gina Tricot 91 Pick Me, Zoya Blaze and Zoya Ziw. I applied three coats of Alpine Snow as base. After that I used a dotting tool to make swirls of light pink 91 Pick Me. I waited a couple of minutes until it had dried before I used the same dotting tool and China GlazeMerry Berry to make the flower petals. I applied some Blaze on only the red flowerpetals tog ive the manicure some depth before I made som golden dots with Ziw. I also made an accent nail on my ring finger. I took a small bruch and painted lines with Ziw and then I made some red flowers with Merry Berry and Blaze.

The manicure didn't com out as well as I hoped but it was the first time I did something like this and I'm pleased with it.

Translation: It's Lelack's Nail Art Sunday and I wanted to do an easter inspired nail art. I saw an Easter egg that was white with blue dots and a silver pattern. It was really pretty so I thought I colud get some inspiration for a nail art from that egg.
I did a white base with blu dots and inverted accent nail and some silver dots. For th white base I used Nordic Cap Star Nails NP13. I will never use that polish again. The forumla was horribe and sticky. The blue dots and the base of the accent nail are made with China Glaze For Audrey. For the white dots I used OPI Alpine Snow ( I was so fed up with Star Nails thhat I couldn't even do the dots with it) and for the silver ones I used A England Merlin.
I really like this nail art and I love the combination of colours.

Translation: Today, almost a week after St. Patrick's Day, I showing you the second polish I wore then.

This is Ninja Polish Shamrock Floam. It's part of the Floam-family and as the rest of the Floam polishes it contains of matte glitter in a clear base.

Shamrock Floam is a glitter with emerlad green, darker green and white matte hex glitter suspended in a clear base. I really like and I definitely think of Ireland when I see the polish.

The formula is good and the polish is easy to apply. The dry time is alright and it dries to a matte finish. What you see in the pictures are two coats of Shamrock Floam layered over two coats of Ninja Polish Shillelagh. As you can see the glitter dispersal is great and I think three coats would give full coverage if worn on its own. Shamrock Floam eats top coat so I used two thick coats of Seche Vite and still had to put on one moe coat after a few hours. It didn't bother me.

Translation: I have two post for you today but I'll start with what I'm actually wearing today, OPI Don't Burst My Bubble. Don't Burst My Bubble is part of OPI's new soft shades collection Oz The Great and Powerful. I bought the collection via ebay. The collection conatins of three glitter polishes (When Monkeys Fly, Which Is Witch? andLights of Emerald City), one liquid sand polish (What Wizardy is This?) and three jellies or crellies.

Don't Burst My Bubble is a light pink, almost white jelly. I loved last years Soft Shade collection and especially the polishes Don't Touch My Tutu and Care to Danse? and Don't Burst My Bubble has the same spooky look to it. Love it.

The formula is good. Since it's a jely and a soft shade the polish is not supposed to cover completely. What you see in my pictures are three coats of Don't Bust My Bubble but I think two coats can be enough. The dry time is normal and it dries to a very shiny, squishy looking finish. The coats come off as a bit streaky but as sonn as the polish starts to dry it the polish evens out.

Translation: It's Kerstin's Holo Firday today. I'm showing you a gorgeous polish today. It's absolutely lovely. It's an orange holo. A really orange holo with good holo effect.
Today I'm wearing Jade Uau! which is one of their new holographic polishes. It's so darn beautiful. Uau! is a rusty orange with a gorgoeus holo effect. I'm so glad I bought this because orange is one of my favourite colours when it comes to holographic polishes and it's just so hard to find an orange holo with a good holo effect. My favourite orange holo has been Hits Deméter (which I haven't shown here yet) but now it's Uau!
The formula is good, just like with all Jade holos. It dries fast and shiny. The polish is pretty sheer so three coats give full coverage when worn alone. I chose to layer it over one coat of Isadora South Beach to get away with only two coats of Uau! I finished the manicure with one coat of Seche Vite. As you can see the holo effect is not affected by the top coat.
